Vaughn Mills - anyone been?
 

Has anyone been to this new mall north of TO at Hwy. 400 and Rutherford Road? Any good?

I went,I saw, I left. Was heading up the 400 anyway so thought we'd see what all the fuss was about. The only reason we went in at all is because the stores weren't open yet (it was 10am on a Sun.). I should state that I am not a big shopper and normally do not like malls but,it is very nice,open and airy - lots of skylights. Seemed to have a good mix of stores but from what I have heard, during store hours, parking is a nightmare. Folks were parking across the road at the Cdn. Tire store and getting towed so be careful. I'm glad I saw it - would I go back to shop? No but maybe you'll get another response from someone who likes to shop.

I haven't been to the mall and in that sense I am a grave disappointment in my response - however, I do have a question.

I was at Square One Mall and there is a very big sign stating it is the biggest mall in Ontario...but isn't Vaugn Mills the second biggest in Canada....with West Ed. being (duh) the biggest?? Can clear it up please anyone?

Not sure how it relates size wise to Square One but check out the following-Vaughan Mills is the first enclosed regional shopping center built in Canada in more than 14 years. The 1.2 million-square-foot enclosed shopping, leisure and entertainment destination will ultimately feature 16 anchor tenants and more than 200 stores, restaurants and entertainment venues. Many are the first of their kind in Canada, including Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Burlington Coat Factory, NASCAR SpeedPark, Lucky Strike Lanes and Hudson's Bay Company's designer Depot. The center also features the world's largest Tommy Hilfiger Outlet. Located at the southeast corner of Highway 400 and Rutherford Road, in the City of Vaughan, Ontario, Vaughan Mills is owned by a 50/50 joint venture between The Mills Corporation and Ivanhoe Cambridge.
Yup, I'd say it's big!

I'm guessing that Square One just hasn't changed their sign yet.
I haven't been to the new mall, but understand that it is very big.....bigger than Square ONe.

I've been to VaughnMills.

1 - It's quite the trek walking around
the mall and makes Eaton Centre
look like a doll house.
2 - The stuffed animals in Bass Pro
Shop includes a herd of Musk Ox.
3 - The acquarium in the bass pro shop
is worth a visit.
4 - There is an entrance off 400 for
the mall.
5 - It has an interesting mix of shops.

I much prefer the farms that were on that property a few years ago.

All the land south of Major Mackenzie will be developed. The choice is residential, industrial or commercial. Commercial made the best sense for this chunk of land.

I wish people used architects to design their homes....
